1. Ergonomics is how someone acts/is in their working environment. eg. Posture,

eye site, monitor, head, keyboard, and mouse

2. The relationship between font colour and eye fatigue is that bright colours eg.
Yellow make your eyes hurt and strain. Also if your font is too small and
skinny that will also make your eyes strain. To help you can try and make the
font bigger, turn up or down your brightness on the computer, and also try
and have black writing on a white background.

3. Posture is important because you dont want to be bent over the computer
and make you back hurt especially if you have to do this all day. Also if you
do this it can lead to back problems/injuries and the future.
